Hey y''all. I''m not dead. My laptop was, until today. Graphics card, though, is definitely dead. Anyways, the first month I didn''t post was not because the laptop died, but rather because of school. Did I ever mention I hate school? Yeah, I most definitely hate school.


    I''m actually sick right now. A culmination of having to break my natural sleep cycle because of school, skipping breakfast and dinner a lot, and the cold weather had me call my dad yesterday to get me out of school because of getting a fever. Currently, fever''s gone, but I have very painful cramps kicking in from time to time. Very painful. I also dry heave a bit.


    But, I''m getting better, and I feel good enough to sit down and give you guys an update after being gone for so long. Well, first off, I wanna apologize for disappearing, I know I could''ve logged through my crappy phone and typed this out anytime despite the excruciating slowness of it, but I kept procrastinating on it. Second, I''m kinda unsure of my writing ability right now. It''s not writer''s block, but I just... don''t feel very confident about what I type. So it might be a few more weeks until I post another chapter. Maybe a month. Honestly, with my life being what it is, I can''t even be certain I''ll get a chapter out in a month.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    But, the most important thing is, I won''t drop the story. Well, the pledge certainly plays a big role in that, but I know that is a few of you that genuinely enjoy this story and I don''t want to disappoint you. Heck, I need to finish this story just to show myself I can and thus bolster my confidence for future stories.


    So, I''ll keep on having a go at typing whenever I get the time, and sometime later (Hopefully before pledge time runs out) there should be a chapter. So, yeah. Thanks for reading.
